1H: Ophthalmic Biomaterials SIG ( Innovative Biomaterials for Advanced Ophthalmic Solutions: Bridging Research and Clinical Practice)

Date: Wednesday, April 9, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM
Room: 4D
Session Type: General Session

Description

Biomaterials often work in more than one application. In this rapid fire session, researchers are encouraged to pitch how their current projects outside of ophthalmology could be used in ophthalmology. Our goal is to forge new ideas that are outside of the box, encouraging researchers to consider how ophthalmology could fit into their projects.
